LA still has a ton of youth in their pipeline even if they lose Byfield.

Interesting comparison is the Warriors. Another championship team with 2 aging vets and having a so so season.
They have some good youth in Kuminga and Moody and picks, but Curry has been vocal they shouldn't trade the future for now as they will be gone in a few seasons.
They made a player for player deal to get Jimmy Butler it didn't cost them too much.
It is interesting to hear a player not be selfish when they are still performing at a top level but know time is running out and the organization wil need to move forward.
